So my girls truck is a 2002 Desert Runner 6cyl, And within the past few days its been acting weird. I'm not to familiar with these motors so i figured id ask here.
When sitting at a stop light, or even when we start it up to go somewhere it will shake, stutter, and it feels as if it wants to die, but it wont. It will do this at ever stop sign / light... And another thing is getting on the freeway / driving on city roads, when accelerating it will struggle, and i kinda have to floor it almost as if i have to rev it for it to catch up with itself, but this seems more like a tranny problem than anything...

Get you a tune up with fuel filter, 3 stage induction service as well. Or check vaccum lines. When was the last service done on the vehicle?

start with vacuum lines, spark plugs/wires, dizzy/rotor.

I'm not sure on when the last maintenance was, she say's she cant remember, so i figure that's not good... Going to do spark plugs / wires & fuel filter this weekend. Hopefully this solves the problem...
